I don't know if I will get hate for what I'm gonna say.

But I really wish they had adhered to canon in the show of House of the Dragon regarding Laenor's death.

Don't get me wrong, even in Fire and Blood Laenor deserved better, but at least his end is a little more sympathetic, and braver.

Even if Laenor found other lovers after Joffrey's death, he still mourned him. (A hint to Daemon and Rhaenyra losing their partners and even though they mourned them they found comfort in each other.) He named his adoptive son after him, do you think that is not devotion?

At least in death he would have been joined with his one true love: Joffrey.

And also, considering his book version was so dedicated, I doubt he would be willing to abandon his family so easily when he knows there is a threat of war.

He watched Jace, Luke and Joffrey grow up, and he acknowledged them as his, he would not have left them alone to an uncertain future, especially when he knows there are people who will try to strip them from their titles.

I know Rhaenyra could have slept with a Velaryon relative to make them look like Laenor's, but in the end she fell for Harwin. And even then Laenor supported her.

He fought for his mother's claim to the throne, he wouldn't have left her to grieve him after everything she went through.

It would have been more honorable for him to die than abandon his family.

Had he lived, he would have fought for his family, considering his fights in the Stepstones, he was brave enough to fight in there before becoming an adult in Westeros standards, he did not shy away from battles. Making him run away makes him look as a coward.

So, for Laenor's honor, I will pretend he died in the show, and that he met Joffrey and his sister Laena in the afterlife.

hotd au but aemma lives so aegon, helaena, aemond and daeron are hers and viserys' children and rhaenyra is still heir because that's what viserys wants and as king he can do whatever the fuck he wants, and otto gets fired for conspiring against the heir and mistreating alicent (so alicent becomes a targ-protected lady) and viserys grants daemon an annulment and agrees to marry rhaenyra to him and she gets to be queen, and laena marries harwin and they have a bunch of dragon-riding babys to rule over harrenhal and driftmark so laenor gets to be free from his duties as lord so he joins the queensguard as rhaenyra's sworn sword and joffrey does too so they can still be together because fuck westerosi laws anyways, and alicent gets to marry someone decent and with otto out of the picture maybe criston is not so bad but he's a nobody so rhaenyra is kind enough to give him a small lordship to make her friend happy and both alicent and laena become her ladies-in-waiting alongside some other cool ladies from the dance and helaena gets betrothed to aemond instead of aegon and aegon gets to get drunk and flirt with ladies without being a creep because here he's raised by caring parents and rhaenyra is actually involved in her sibling's lifes AND

[um-weird-flex-but-ok]

Honestly wished we’d seen more of Joffrey Lonmouth, he slayed his five minutes of screen time and although he wasn’t the brightest little apricot in the bunch I respect the gay audacity. I’m just saying there was a lot of potential for him and his fuck ass bob to cause further havoc

[mesillusionssousecstasy]

It seems that during this scene Daemon overhear Laenor and Joffrey’s conversation about Rhaenyra and Ser Criston Cole.

I was always intrigued if Daemon knew about Ser Crispin and how he would react.

Yuletide 2022 Rec 1

There are 13 House of the Dragon fics* in this year’s Yuletide collection (so far). This one focuses on Laenor Velaryon and offers a sad and lovely glimpse of his life, his relationship with his family, and his friendship-turned-romance with Joffrey Lonmouth. * Yes, I wrote one of them. No, this isn’t it.

(MILD) SPOILER:

The ending to this fic isn’t quite canon divergence. I’m not sure how I’d have tagged it myself, tbh, but it shifts (seamlessly, in my opinion) from show canon to book canon and does an excellent job. So, if you’re looking for a happy ending, this ain’t it. But it’s, honestly, the ending these two characters deserve even though I understand (partly) why the show’s writers went the way they did.

Okay so to everyone who was here for the original post, here’s basically how Alicent and Laenor get married in my lavender marriage au:

The entire thing starts because Alicent catches Laenor and Joffrey fucking in a secluded part of the castle a few weeks before Aemma dies. The boys only realize they’ve been caught because Alicent runs away from them like her ass is on fire. That girl had no idea gay male sex was an option in life and now needs to reevaluate everything in her life after catching them.

Laenor then spends the next few weeks trying to find a way to get her alone because guess what. Fucking in a secluded but also public area is not a good strategy if you want to keep your gay love affair a secret. So now Laenor is hoping to convince Alicent to stay quiet about what she saw because his dad seems to think he'll grow out of it (do not attack me, this literally happens in canon) and he doesn’t want anyone to know yet since it might impact who he’ll get married to eventually. Meanwhile Alicent is desperately trying to forget that she ever saw anything and doesn’t tell Otto about seeing Laenor and Joffrey because let's be real. This man said “childhood companions” like it was a slur in that one scene, so she knows that her father would do something with this information. Alicent does not want to be the reason Joffrey and Laenor are in trouble for their relationship. Nevermind that she’s suddenly having the realization that women liking women isn’t that far of a stretch after all.

Unfortunately, to everyone else in the world, it looks like Laenor is trying to court her and that Alicent is just trying to be very polite about his interest in her since she never wants to be alone in a room with him unless they’re around other people. Which is something that is totally normal and not weird at all. Why would you say otherwise?

Then Aemma dies and Otto sends her to see Viserys in his room and Alicent is now very stressed about something else in her life because she wants to do what her father says, but she also doesn’t want to betray Rhaenyra.

So during those six months after Aemma dies - which is apparently how much times passes between Aemma’s death and when Viserys decides to marry Alicent according to a HOTD article I read - Alicent, like in canon, is sent by her father to Viserys’ chambers and desperately hopes that her father’s ambitions won’t happen and that Viserys will simply see her as person that is supporting him in his grief.

(Life Hack: If you ever want to read an article and it says you have to make an account to read the rest of it, just go back to the google page you found it on, right click the link, and save the link as an HTML document. That lets you read the article without having to make an account. I found this out from someone on the internet and damn did it help when I wanted to access any account restricted article. Anyways, back to the plot.)

So to counteract that and make it so she’s less appealing to Viserys, Alicent always mentions Laenor and how fond of him she is during their talks. She also mentions how worried she is about Rhaenyra and her position as heir because there seems to be so many people that seem to be under the impression that they can replace her by having Viserys marry one of their daughters and convince him change his heir to one of the possible children he might have with those daughters.

Meanwhile, Laenor is absolutely losing his mind because all of a sudden Alicent is always around him and receptive to interacting with him, even though literally weeks before she avoided being around him like the plague. During this she also manages to wring out of him the fact that his parents (mainly Corlys, let's be real) are talking about potentially marrying Laena to Viserys and that he hates that idea as she’s way too young in his eyes for that. Eventually Alicent manages to find a way to be alone with Laenor and make him swear to secrecy about what she'll tell him because telling anyone might mean that his sister will actually have to marry Viserys. He does and she fills him in on what her father wants and what she’s attempting to do, and that she needs his cooperation to get him to at least appear like they’re courting.

So Alicent and Laenor put up the appearance that they’re at least attracted to each other to get people talking, which totally doesn’t ignite jealousy in Rhaenyra at the idea of Alicent being in love with her cousin. Cue Rhaenyra absolutely doing everything in her power to make Laenor appear like a loser to Alicent and the rest of the court. Alicent makes sure to get her to stop that shit real quick and tells Rhaenyra that she and Laenor are only pretending to be in love in order to avoid having to marry someone that would disrespect Laenor’s preference for men and disregard Alicent’s autonomy. Alicent also mentions that possibly marrying Laenor means that Alicent and Rhaenyra will be allowed to see each other very frequently as she will be Laenor’s wife and the Velaryons are often at court since they are related to the royal family. So now they have Rhaenyra on board.

Eventually the night before that one small council meeting where in canon Viserys announces that he’ll marry Alicent, Alicent “confesses” to Viserys that she’s in love with Laenor and that she wants to marry him, but that her father would never allow Alicent to marry Laenor because he and Lord Corlys dislike each other. She also lets it “slip” that Otto is very adamant that Viserys must have a male heir despite the fact that Rhaenyra has already been made heir, and that he sees Alicent as a potential bride for Viserys despite her unwillingness to marry her best friend’s father. She also sprinkles in the fact that Rhaenyra would be devastated at the idea of her father remarrying, especially if the bride in question were her best friend or even her little cousin (Yeah fuck you Corlys, you’re on thin ice for that and the grow out of it comment), and the fact that surely his wife would want him to defend his daughter’s claim to the Iron Throne from potential usurpers, which is something that would definitely happen if he had a son.

This causes Viserys to absolutely lose his shit, but Alicent calms him down and he sends her away from his chambers. However, not before Viserys hints that he would not dissolve a marriage between a highborn lady and lord if they eloped and consummated the marriage. So instead of heading straight to her rooms, Alicent instead books it to Laenor’s chambers. The two of them run off to a sept and convince a septon to marry them with a few commoners as their witnesses because they can’t take any nobles in fear of being stopped (and to also have the commoners spread the fact that Alicent and Laenor eloped). Then she and Laenor head off to Laenor’s chambers to consummate the marriage with the help of Joffrey, who they had stay in Laenor’s chambers so that no one would get him in trouble or notice that he was in the room with them during the consummation, and to have Alicent stay over so that people could catch them together in the morning and spread the news of her “ruined reputation”.

The next morning Laena bursts into Laenor’s chambers like she always does and “catches” them before running off to tell Rhaenys the way all little siblings do. So then Rhaenys and Corlys show up, as does Otto; he caught wind of the situation through a servant he paid off to spy on the Velaryons. Once there Otto starts shaming Alicent about her ruined reputation and Laenor retorts that she didn’t ruin anything as he married her before he bedded her. Otto then explodes at the pair when Laenor says that and Corlys rushes to defend his son against all the stuff Otto is saying and threatening him with.

Eventually their argument gets so loud that a servant rushes to get Viserys and a few guards since they’re afraid that the two lords will resort to violence. Trailing after them is Rhaenyra and the Small Council, as the meeting was supposed to start half an hour ago but certain people were missing and needed to be found. So now the entire Small Council, Rhaneyra, and Viserys are at the doorway of Laenor’s room while a furious Otto and Corlys trade insults. Meanwhile Rhaenys sees how afraid Alicent and Laenor are and rushes to the pair’s defense (because they need someone in their corner that isn’t shaming the other party), saying that perhaps the two wouldn’t have resorted to eloping if Otto and Corlys weren't always at odds. Seeing the King, Otto rushes to demand that he have the septon reverse the marriage, but Viserys reveals that he knows about Otto’s plan to make Alicent marry him and how he knows that she wished to marry Laenor instead. He then fires Otto from being Hand and sends him packing to Oldtown, approving of Laenor and Alicent’s marriage as a final insult to Otto. He also firmly informs the small council that he will not be getting remarried, that Rhaenyra will remain his heir, and that anyone who objects otherwise is speaking of treason.

So there you go, the outline for a story that I’m most likely going to write in non-linear bits. In this world Alicent is Lady of Driftmark, Laenor and Joffrey get to be happy, and Viserys prioritizes making sure that Rhaenyra’s claim to the throne is secure. Also somewhere down the line in this universe Rhaenyra and Alicent get their shit together and realize they’re in love with each other, and Rhaenyra gets to marry Harwin because Daemon never takes her to the brothel and so she gets to pick her husband and be the polyamorous bi queen we all love.
